Lick Fork Lake Recreation Area is one of the prettiest spots you will see in South Carolina's Sumpter National Forest. I've been there dozens of times and have never found it crowded, except once on the 4th of July. The Recreation area centers around a 12 acre man-made lake nestled in the southeastern portion of the Long Cane Ranger District. It offers a variety of recreational opportunities including camping, swimming, picnicking, fishing, boating, mountain biking, and hiking. The 2.5 mile loop trail around the lake makes an especially enjoyable hike.
Lick Fork has a heavily wooded campground with 10 campsites and offers easy access for other recreational activities. A camp host is on site during peak seasons. Lick Fork is open April through December 15.
There is a designated picnic area with a bath house, flush toilets and showers. Other amenities include a handicap-accessible day area and a handicap accessible fishing pier. The picnic area has tables, grills, and a group shelter. Each camp site has a fire ring, a table, and lantern post. Pit toilets and water pumps are located throughout the campground.
